Overview
- A late fourth-quarter pass interference flag wiped out what appeared to be Rams cornerback Josh Wallace’s interception and allowed the Broncos to keep possession and score a go-ahead touchdown.
- Broncos receiver Pat Bryant acknowledged after the game that he exaggerated the contact to draw the flag, saying he “sold it” to get the call.
- The NFL confirmed the call was incorrect but noted that defensive pass interference is not reviewable and therefore will not change the final score.
- Media figures have intensified scrutiny of the play, with Jason Kelce calling out what he called a 'limp wrist' flop on the New Heights podcast and Kelly Stafford reposting his remarks on social media.
- The episode has renewed debate about penalizing player embellishment, the limits of replay review, and whether the league should change rules or training to deter flopping.
